In my previous blog, "What is an Omron NX Power Module and Do You Need One?," we discussed what an Omron NX power supply module was and why it was necessary. In this blog, we will go more in depth on how to design and specify the actual power supply needed for a particular system.
First, we address a few disclaimers:

Cross Hose &amp; Fittings is a Parker distributor, providing precision-engineered products that meet or exceed a variety of industry standards. Parker is synonymous with quality, and their products can be found on and around any production operation with moving parts. Although there are a number of manufacturers on the market, there are several reasons to use only Parker branded hoses and fittings in a hydraulic assembly.

In Mobile Hydraulics, we most commonly encounter actuator flows from fractions of a gallon per minute (gpm) to around 25 gpm. However, there are applications where much more than that is necessary to result in the speeds and forces required by the task. With smaller flows, there is an array of cost-effective and compact valve possibilities with load sensing and flow sharing capabilities. It can, however, be a challenge to source a high-flow valve that incorporates these technologies and other advanced features.
